Welcome

In this entry, I will be discussing what happened Sunday. To read about Saturday, go to my other web site. Thank you.



Father's day weekend brought about alot of anxiety in my life.

On Sunday, the people I thought I could trust turned thier backs on me. I'm a Christian, and as a Christian it is my responsibility to pull a person aside and speak to him/her about a certain sin that they have committed. I did just this and the girl I spoke to was serious about it. We were interrupted and before I knew it, she came back and thanked me for the advice that I had given her. However, she threw it all in my face when she told me that she had also heard that I had done something of the sort. I told her that what I had done was a long time ago. I also told her not to use it as an excuse to try to justify what she did. What was she trying to say? I should've stayed quite to see what dumb excuse she could come up with to justify her doing what she did. How can one judge a person based on what he/she was or did in the past? If you are new person in Christ, why should it matter what you did in the past? I mean, If you were a drunk, whould you be judged in your clean present self as a drunk? I don't think so. Apparently she didn't understand this and kept ravelling on trying to make up an excuse for what she did.

Another thing, the bible says that the first time you speak to a person, you should pull him/her aside and speak to them privately, one-on-one. If she had really taken the advice like she said, she wouldn't go telling anyone about the conversation but she would have kept it for herself. Instead she went to tell her friends and that is when everything started. Apparently, they think that I am conceited and that I am too "spirital" to hang out with them............
That is totally not true. Just because I did something the bible tells me to do doesn't mean that it is bad. She threw it back by having the others critizice me for what I told her. Afterwards, I heard from a friend that the main head of the girls, (you know, the one all the girls want to hang around with and be like) talked to one of the elders of what I had done. I didn't do anything wrong though. I did what the bible and God told me to do. And to tell you the truth, I didn't want to because I knew that this was going to happen. But I have to do what God tells me to do. So I did it and they made such a big deal about it. But you know what? They can't do anything because I know for certain that God has my back. And I bet that the elder told the head of the girls that I did the right thing. She cannot justify her little friends' action with something I did a long time ago. She just can't because that is the past, and this is the present. They know me for who I am today.

So there is a battle won, but there is still more to come. Why are they trying to fight the Word of God? Why? Can't they understand that what I did isn't bad? That for me, it is not about competition? Why do they dislike me? Because I'm a musician? Because I sing? Because I hold a leadership position in church? It isn't me, I did not ask for it. God just gave it to me. Why don't they understand that?
